Striving and Suffering for Christ

27 Only alet your conduct be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand fast in one spirit, bwith one mind cstriving together for the faith of the gospel,  
28 and not in any way terrified by your adversaries, which is to them a proof of perdition, but1 to you of salvation, and that from God.  
29 For to you ait has been granted on behalf of Christ, bnot only to believe in Him, but also to csuffer for His sake,  
30 ahaving the same conflict bwhich you saw in me and now hear is in me.

Philippians 1:29

Unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ - ̔ · To you it is graciously given; it is no small privilege that God has so far honored you as to permit you to suffer on Christ' s account. It is only his most faithful servants that he thus honors. Be not therefore terrified by your enemies; they can do nothing to you which God will not turn to your eternal advantage. We learn from this that it is as great a privilege to suffer for Christ as to believe on him; and the former in certain cases (as far as the latter in all cases) becomes the means of salvation to them who are thus exercised.
